So, what have you been listening to lately?

Man, she had my hormones RAGING when I was 14 in the late 70s. Her and Ann Wilson, Debbie Harry, and Stevie Nicks. 

Linda Ronstadt topped them all.

For some reason, I always thought that was a cover by her of an old Motown number. Turns out, I was only half-right, old yes, Motown no:



As for wet dream instigation (or inspiration?), I was always more on Carly's (Simon) team. Speaking of her, I found the Ronstadt track to be an echo to Carly's previous You're So Vain, both musically and lyrically, but given how You're No Good is the older number in its original form, it might have been the other way around!

It has been mentioned before on other threads, but Klaus Voormann distinguished himself on that bass line in "You're So Vain.'  I don't know how many other songs by Carly Simon he was on, but there were a few.  Carly Simon here talks about the extent of his involvement in her music.

Did someone mention Stevie Nicks?

Could be a good way to get a little coke buzz.

Sounds like a recipe for herpes hpv and possibly throat cancer. Might have been worth it to some back when this song came out. Reminds me of Gilbert's take on Catherine Zeta Jones.

Nonsensical title for a song. As if all those veils wouldn't get in the way.

Mick Fleetwood threatened to sue them over it.

He was probably worried about that gold dust trickle getting into the wrong mouths hands.

Just watched this beautiful documentary about Jimi Hendrix.
Today it's 50 years ago he died.

Maui concert out now too.

[Basvarken]

Yeah saw that Voodoo Chile video too this week. Excellent quality.
Lovely entourage. Just a meadow on a hill, with a stage without a roof. A couple of colourful drapes and a very modest sound system.
And a horse running around.
Lovely!

From Phester Swollen (Tom Chartier, who wrote it): "for some strange reason Fleetwood Mac took offense. Well, there's no accounting for taste. It seems this was the era when Mick Fleetwood was boning Stevie Nicks behind Lindsey Buckingham's back and he felt he had to rescue her honor. Christ! As if they didn't have enough problems of their own with all the break ups, infidelity, cocaine addictions and millions of dollars burdening them! They had to throw their weight around and go after some fledgling punk band. I guess it was a case of the big bully beating up the asthmatic wimp on the playground for making a smart ass comment and laughing during his oral report. We soon found we were banned in Los Angeles. Someone claiming to be Mick Fleetwood himself called KROQ and threatened them with a lawsuit if they played the song, then called Nigel at home with the same threat. All the major record stores in Los Angeles were threatened with no more big selling Big Mac albums if they sold our nasty little single. Ooh scary! What a threat. Who the hell bought Tusk anyway? It sucked the turds out of a dead bloated water buffalo's anus. Some stores hid our records under the table like a bunch of pussies and some gave Fleetwood Mac the finger and still got their albums anyway. Then they decided to be less obvious and the doors to a number of the clubs in town closed to us mysteriously."

Oh my, the - no pun intended - sourpussies!
